SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klinsmann, USA head coach:
"Well, I mean obviously we've watched the games from the Danish side and we see where they stand right now in the qualifiers for Euro 2016, and it's a very good team. And it's fun to watch them, full of individual talent obviously and a very experienced coach. So, no... we are really looking forward to this match because it gives us a nice benchmark, it gives us the possibility to match ourselves with a very good European side. And for us right now, kind of we started the process of preparing step by step for this summer's tournament, the Gold Cup called in our region, and hopefully that tournament will take us to the Confederations Cup 2017 to Russia. So, we're trying things out, we are bringing young players in, new players as well - and we hope for a good match."
SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klinsmann, USA head coach:
(On Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen).
"Well, he's an exceptional talent... and that's why he's at Tottenham (Hotspur). No... he's tremendously talented. I mean watching him and seeing some of his goals already this season, you know kind of being the difference in some of the games shows you that he can turn it on, and you always have to be very attentive and sharp on him. But having these types of players coming through your ranks and through your team gives you a spark, it gives you a chance to make a difference when it really matters. So, I'm excited to see him on the field tomorrow night."
